Prim looked frantically for Peeta. She couldn't see him because of the cornucopia. The countdown finished and bloodthirsty tributes ran towards cornucopia. Prim saw Peeta running towards her, a knife in one hand. Prim saw a bright orange backpack not far awa from her feet and made a swipe for it at the same time as an older girl. The girl tried to fight her for it but Peeta stabbed her once in the back, grabbed Prims hand and pulled her into the woods. They ran forward for what felt like hours but Prim was soon gasping for air and Peeta was desperate for water. They found a spot where the ground was softer and there were many close trees. They sat against trees and breathed heavily for five minutes. They heard soft footstep heading their way and jumped up. Peeta pushed Prim behind him and held up the knife he had collected. They stood ready until Rue, the small girl from district 11 appeared in front of them. Prim gave a sigh of relief and relaxed her defensive stance but Peeta stayed ready to fight. Fear filled Rues eyes but Prim pulled his arm away and he finally relaxed. "Hi." Prim said quietly. Rue waved back shyly. "I will go and find some food" Peeta told the girls and walked away. They sat in silence for hours until Peeta clumped back with three headless birds clutched in his hands. "We have them in my district. We eat them all the time, they taste quite nice." Rue told them. Peeta nodded and set the girls to plucking the feathers out of the birds while he found a safe place to light a fire. They ate in a small cave and then settled down in a big sleeping bag and slept until the next morning.
